Alfred Oxer

I have been searching for a death date for my Grandfather on Ancestry UK , I found a Southern Australian death date for the year 1952 , but there wasn't enough information on him only a date and a name .

My Grandfather Alfred Oxer was born in 1887 , in Yorkshire , England , Alfred s wife Mary Ellen tragically died in 1912 , Alfred deserted his children in 1919 , there is no known whereabouts of him after then .

One theory is that Alfred could have been transported to Australia ? .as he did serve two prison sentences in the UK.
